Smashing success

I just stepped back in time
To a song once always on my mind
Lost in that long-lost feeling
That rush that always left me reeling
Remembering fondly all that was
The glittering lights & constant buzz
Relishing the beauty of memory
Where you were bound and true to me

Dirty Dancing

The image flickered on the screen
Of dancers entwined in a sultry scene
When music set the Bacchanal mood
And the innocent believed in their cozy brood

It was a summer so long ago
When hearts were young and our souls aglow

We plunged right in, we knew the score
We wanted the fantasy and so much more
We understood that time had past
But trusted still that the joy would last

It was a summer so long ago
When hearts were young and our souls aglow

A bittersweet triumph of old and young
Learning the words to songs unsung
Understanding that from now on
The world was waking to a brand new dawn

It was a summer so long ago
When hearts were young, and our souls aglow

And now years away from that misty age
The music still rattles the sleepers cage
Calling out to the ghosts gone by
Bringing laughter, joy & and sad, sweet sigh.

It was a summer so long ago
When hearts were young, and our souls aglow.  

I'm a Victim

I want you, can't you see
I'm not rid of you, I'm not yet free
I saw your face and knew inside
That those smoldering embers I still must hide
A desert voice of pain and rust
Flowing through the brittle dust
An ache made real despite the glare
A thoughtless whisper that I wouldn't dare
I'll see you soon in your electric glow
I'll be there swooning from the front row
A sweaty reminder of youth that's lost
But I still will fight despite the cost
For as your words fill my soul
I know for that night I'll be made whole

Centre Stage

I'm counting down the days
Until our spirits collide
Through a crowded space
With no place to hide

A throng of worshipers
Come to raise the roof
Listening to your voice
No greater spiritual proof

PSB Olympia

We left Suburbia to Go West
Hearts & limbs put to the test
We were given One More Chance
To partake in a Domino Dance
This west-end girl knows the score
It's a Sin to to close the door
Music is Always on My Mind
As within its depths, happiness is what I find.

False Note

Oh, lovely, lovely songbird mine,
Your golden voice was once so fine
And I often reflect on that wistful time
When your lyric and song were both sublime
Now your verse is heavy and old
Your soaring falsetto distant and cold
Bring back that raw, emotion-filled age
When you were young and coming out of your cage

Burst of fun

Let the words roll off your tongue
A merry dance of letters and rum
A fine tuned jig of quips and quotes
That's all I have, so that's all she wrote!

Musical door

When I fall into that familiar sphere
All the world becomes crystal clear
A brand new way of seeing through
All a remembrance and yet brand new
As waves of beauty wash over me
The colours of peace are all I see

Quiet now

My songbird has been silent
And it's tearing me apart
Not hearing its tunes of merriment
Fills sadness in my heart

Imagining this manic world
Without its thrilling voice
Is just too much to bear
But it's not up to me such choice

Extra Special

We skanked our way back in time
Right into the heart of rhythm and rhyme
A two-toned beat to set the stage
Erasing aches, pain and age
Former punks came out to play
As a special band had their day

I'm not really sure why this didn't upload properly... here it is...

Awash in music

I can't take the sound
The music that washes me in sin
The lyrics that inspire all that I imagine
And the voice that tells me I can win
Until I can look into your eyes
And keep from falling over
The notes will always sting
Imagining you with another lover

The troubling voice

I cannot listen to the voice that sings
For all of the pain and longing it brings
As crazy as this notion seems
It's a light through darkness that constantly gleams
No other voice has such power
To make me crave and make me shudder
A part of my soul that broke away
Ages ago through the millennial fray
Together once in lives long past
Knowing that forever does not last
But feeling the pull nonetheless
Speak softly through my distress
So the melody now cannot flow
For every note is a bittersweet blow

Music box

Jewel box twinkling bright
A little star in the dark of night
Your music lifts my spirit
Every time that I hear it
It hearkens back to a simpler time
When life was one big nursery rhyme

Out of tune

In heaven's name we were sent
Around the corner until we got bent
A smoking bullet through eyes wide shut
A constant roiling in our gut
Now more than ever the song's all wrong
I hope it doesn't last too long
This discordant tune is hard to take
When there is so much now at stake

Black Keys

A sinister kid rocked the stage
A booming drum let loose the rage
Ten thousand fans all joined in
Creating a heavy, harmonious din
The base line says black keys are right
And we bathed in an everlasting light

Rio

Twitter, twitter all day long
Sing your merry little song
Then let your fancy take flight
As you enliven up the night
With music only you can make
But have a care for your sake
That no one ever tries to cage
Your free and lovely melody
